The Tallest Man On Earth- “Like the Wheel” ‡ MP3

Recently, y’all saw me sing the praises of the Tallest Man on Earth‘s latest album, the Wild Hunt. Dead Oceans has released a new EP from the project via iTunes, and the track below is on it.

“Like the Wheel” moves along at a pace slow enough to admire the wide, open fields that come to mind in the Tallest Man’s music. The melodies are gentle, and the lyrics heartfelt. It’s as impressive as anything on the Wild Hunt, if not more. Download and comment below:
